The Process of Buying a Home (Made Easy!)

The process of buying a home is such a mystery to most people. It’s this overwhelming “thing” with all these moving parts and strange lingo, not to mention the legalese of the documentation (thank you, attorneys!). For my buyers, I’ve wanted to break down the process into easy-to-understand steps, so I created a flowchart to help. The terms are described along with the timing of the different things – like the inspection, financing, appraisal, etc. – that have to happen to get to the closing table, and to get those keys!

Believe it or not, I can’t get all the ins and outs of home buying into one flowchart, even one that spans three pages. But, if you’re looking for a quick guide to the process, I hope this is helpful. If you’d like to receive this flowchart in PDF or a cleaner jpeg format, just let me know and I’m happy to send it to you!

As always, if you need anything house-related, I’m here for you – give me a call, shoot me a text or e-mail, just don’t tweet, because I’m not on twitter (yet!).
